Amazing Riesling, lemon, grapefruit, salt, minerals, gout de petrol all in perfect harmony. The dryness of the wine is gripping and maybe not for everybody but I love this.

Just a beautiful wine that is vibrating on its own plane. Stunningly floral nose. So delicate and layered and almost poignant. Amazing deep minerality that is so primal, almost of a different time. So special. Citrus, lime, crushed rocks, river stream. So many aromas. Such an array. One of the greatest noses on a young Riesling ever. Insanely juicy and complex with just electric acidity and minerality. Like a cloud with so many flavors and layers but oh so delicate. My god this is stunnIng. Epically long and well paced finish with insane levels of energy, lime sweet tart, huge minerals and insane structure. This needs 5 years and will age gracefully for 15-18. An accomplishment.

Nose has a hint of tropicality. Palate is screamingly mineral. Like tongue in a rock crusher mineral. Some grapefruit pith. Good acidity. Let’s see how this develops. Bought from fass selections. ... starting to get more density. A bit of citrus on the palate. Lovely dense mineral citrus finish.
